Then I went to the bank, then the pet store where I used to work to pick up some crickets. I took along the bearded dragon plushie that was finally sold before packing it up in its box to send out. The owner of the store fell in love (she breeds bearded dragons) and wants me to make a bunch of things to sell on consignment there - lizards, frogs, fish tank set ups, hedgehogs, you name it. I love that place and it would be great exposure, can't wait to start making things!
And THEN I went to a woman's house to purchase a sewing machine. Found her ad on craigslist (my first craigslist experience, gulp), threw a few emails back and forth, and it turns out she had a 1920s model (turned electric) Singer, small and portable, in great working condition. It's not quite as sexy as my 1947 model, but definitely beautiful and exciting. It also doesn't go backwards (!!!) which will take some getting used to (I keep reach for a lever that isn't there), but I'll manage. I'm so happy to have a sexy little machine to take to school with me! So yeah, you want pictures:


And then I got to etsy for even more fun. Was on the front page and made a sale!
Life is so awesome right now. The blueberries and raspberries are getting ripe, I think I'm going to go pick some.

love the new addition to your sewing machine collection...yes, I think this is how guys feel about their car collections. So, go ahead and put the pedal to the metal with your new singer! :)
Gorgeous sewing machine, what a great find!
I love your new machine! I, too, think it must be how guys feel about cars/their toys!
